Revenue Management Analyst
Revenue Management Pricing involves maximising Company revenue for every flight through careful use of fares and reservation classes.
The role of the Pricer comes into play before a flight is put on the market by defining different airfares to attract the largest possible range of customers.
The Revenue Management analyst is responsible for a portfolio of flight routes which are monitored flight by flight. Sophisticated decision making tools are used to attribute the optimal number of seats to each class of reservation according to the number of expected passengers.
It is their role to identify specific events which may affect demand (exhibitions, sporting events…), the Revenue Management Analyst analyses the traffic statistics for each class of reservation and remains up to date with the competition, both surface and air.

Programme Analyst
